Stadion II, with a cargo of pulp for Preston, is listed as sailing in Convoy HN 16 from Norway to the U.K. in March.-1940. The following month, she was in Convoy HN 24, which arrived Methil from Norway on Apr. 7-1940; in other words, she got out of Norway just before the German invasion (Apr. 9). Follow the links for more info, several Norwegian ships took part in both these convoys.
Apart from a couple of voyages to France in the spring of 1940 (see Page 1), she was subsequently mostly in service around the U.K.
She took part in the Normandy operations, arriving June 7, leaving again on June 12-1944, according to "Nortraships flåte".
From Page 22 of the archive documents, we learn that she went home to Norway in Sept.-1945, making another voyage home in Apr.-1946.
Back to Stadion II on the "Ships starting with S" page.
The company had previously had another ship by the name Stadion, delivered in Aug.-1909, 519 gt. Purchased by D/S A/S Nordborg (A. Salomonsen) Kopervik in Febr.1922 and renamed Nordborg.

Aground on Dec. 11-1928, 0,5 n. miles south of Craster, Northumberland when on a voyage Skien-Middlesbrough with cargo of pitprops. Condemned in 1929.
